A roof or gable vent lets air move through the cavity, but an old or damaged cover can turn into an easy way in for a possum or a rat once the mesh has rusted through or a corner has come loose. This is one of the more common gaps turned up during a roofline check on a Silkstone home.
When you call 07 3543 7769 about vent guards, the crew checks every vent around the roofline, not just the one that looks obviously damaged, since a smaller gap on the far side of the roof is just as easy for a possum or rat to use. Guards are fitted to let air through as the vent is meant to while closing off the gap an animal would otherwise use.
This is often done alongside a wider proofing job, so the vents get covered at the same time as the eaves and manhole, but it can also be booked on its own if a vent is the only gap noticed at your Silkstone property. Older homes tend to have a mix of vent types around the roofline, so the crew checks gable vents, eave vents and any whirlybird fittings while up there, rather than just the one that prompted the call.
